Trishary Travel Loom ( UK)
"for people who want to play with fibres where ever they go! "

Using this loom you can create small ,fine weavings (up to 9cm x 11cm), it fits in most hand bags/rucksacks needing only a handful of yarns.
A useful addition for weavers, spinners, knitters, embroiderers and felters wanting to use weaving in textiles or for making cards.
The loom is made in Scotland from environmentally resourced oak, you can use it as it is or stain,paint or wax.

Dyeing with Fungi I discovered that fungi produce wonderful dyes around 1990.Since then I have been using dyed fibres in my weavings.
The dye colours include purples,reds,oranges,yellows and all the shades in between. Recently I have been playing with using the sun to solar dye with good results.
Most of the dye fungi can be found In Scotland but sadly we have very limited supplies.
The fungi photo shows c.semi sanguineous which gives red/oranges.
My adventure with fungi has taken to International Fungi & Fibre Symposiums held across Europe,USA and Australia.
